FULL PROFESSORSHIP (W3) IN THE AREA OF
ATOMIC-SCALE MATERIALS MODELLING

Ref. No: 2109

We are looking for a candidate with a proven track record in investigating current issues in materials science through modelling and computer simulation at the atomic scale. An internationally visible research profile in both materials science and modelling is required.
The candidate’s research interests in materials science should be focused on one of the following areas:

• Atomic-scale mechanisms of the plasticity of metals and alloys
• Crystal lattice defects and interfaces
• Mechanics and thermodynamics of nanoscale systems
• Chemo-mechanically coupled phenomena in crystals
• Phase transformations and diffusion-mediated microstructure evolution

In modelling and computer simulation, the candidate’s research interests should focus on the field of molecular dynamics, ideally in combination with one or more of the following areas:

• Monte Carlo methods
• Interatomic potential development via density functional theory
• Development of advanced simulation methods, for example for atomistic simulation on long time scales
• Data-driven and high-throughput methods
